How about a forum for people to list the 10 films they would most like to see released on dvd, hopefully excluding those saddoes who are forever droning on about `when is the Indiana Jones or Star Wars series coming out?`. Anyway, here, to get the ball rolling, in no particular order, are my choices -
Once Upon A Time In America Zardoz Pretty Peaches An American Werewolf In London Quest For Fire Just Before Dawn Leolo The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension The Wicker Man Watership Down

It`s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (restored) Monte Carlo or Bust The Great Race
Columbia`s Matt Helm series, Fox`s two Flint pictures, some of the 1970`s comedies in the EMI back catalogue.
All sheer nostalgia nobody else in their right mind would want to buy..

>Once Upon A Time In America
Is that anything like Once Upon A Time In China starring Jet Li?
>2) Fist Of Legend (R2, non dubbed)
Now this is one I`d like to watch - if it`s the one with Jet Li. I hear it`s good! What versions are currently out on DVD then?

Best kung-fu film ever (in my opinion).
There is a s***ty dubbed version out on R1 right now, but its not worth buying at all. Somebody should pester Hong Kong Legends for a decent release of it.

You`re in luck, The Untouchables came out this week on R1. A good film, crap disc though - only `extras` are the usual pointless trailer. You would have thought a director`s commentary and some behind the scenes stuff would have been a cert for this release.

Problem is whether or not they have the distribution rights to that film. I`d like to see HKL release Wheel on Meels and Fist of Legend but I don`t know if it`ll happen. So we may just have to settle for a crap version.

On the other hand, I think I`d rather listen to the saddoes droning on about Indy `n` Star Wars than all that chop suey s***e...
Zardoz
